The State Has Declared War On The American Peoplehttp://itsSmoking.comU.S. citizens are now the primary target of the war on terrorPaul Joseph WatsonInfowars.comFriday, February 10, 2012With the announcement that 30,000 drones are expected to fill Americanskies within ten years, the U.S. government has officially declaredwar on the American people, turning to technology normally used tohunt down insurgents abroad as the whole arsenal of the war on terroris re-focused domestically.

"The Federation Aviation Administration said up to 30,000 drones couldbe in airspace shared with airliners carrying passengers," reportsUPI.Once signed by president Obama, the FAA Reauthorization Act allows forthe FAA to permit the use of drones and develop regulations fortesting and licensing by 2015.Some types of surveillance drones are already being used by policedepartments across the country, including in Montgomery County, Texas,where the Department of Homeland Security recently gave the go-aheadfor law enforcement in the United States to deploy the ShadowHawk minidrone drone helicopter that has the ability to taze suspects fromabove as well as carrying 12-gauge shotguns and grenade launchers.US law enforcement bodies are already using drone technology to spy onAmericans. In December, a Predator B drone was called in to conductsurveillance over a family farm in North Dakota as part of a SWAT raidon the Brossart family, who were suspects in the egregious crime ofstealing six missing cows. Local police in this one area have alreadyused the drone on two dozen occasions since June last year.The DHS also recently announced a plan to spend up to $50 milliondollars on a spy system that has been used to hunt insurgents in Iraqand Afghanistan for the purposes of "emergency and non-emergencyincidents" within the United States.While preparing the use of surveillance drones against Americans, theU.S. government is also keen to characterize a myriad of behaviors andactivities, no matter how normal or mundane, as potential indicatorsof terrorism, encouraging citizens to spy on each other in a chillingthrowback to how people were hired as informants under the East GermanStasi.As part of its Communities Against Terrorism program, the FBI isencouraging business owners from across the spectrum to spy on theircustomers.A D V E R T I S E M E N T

Lists of examples of "suspicious behavior" being sent out toeverything from Internet Cafes to tattoo parlors define things likepaying for a cup of coffee with cash, buying food in bulk, and showingan interest in online privacy as evidence of potential terroristactivity.The DHS has also released numerous PSAs that depict routine activitiesas potential signs of terrorism, including using a video camera,talking to police officers, wearing hoodies, driving vans, writing ona piece of paper, and using a cell phone recording application.The federal agency attracted much derision last week when it announcedthat Super Bowl vendors, including hot dog sellers, had been trainedto spot terrorists under the First Observer program.Even more chilling, the feds have also begun to characterize perfectlylegitimate political and economic beliefs as those held by terrorists,effectively denouncing them as thought crimes.As Reuters reported on Monday, authorities are now treating those who"believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the goldstandard" as extremists who are a potential violent threat to lawenforcement. The DHS has also previously characterized returningveterans, Ron Paul supporters, gold investors, and people who displaypolitical bumper stickers as potential domestic terrorists.All this serves to underscore the fact that the American people havenow been targeted as the number one terror threat in the eyes of theauthorities. The state has declared war on U.S. citizens. Not onlywill they be subject to surveillance and intimidation campaigns, butwith the recent passage of the indefinite detention provision of theNDAA, the government has afforded itself the power to hold Americanswithout trial.
